• Magnetic Flux:
Magnetic flux through a plane of area dA placed in a uniform magnetic field B


This is because magnetic lines of force are closed lines and free magnetic poles do not exist.
• Faraday’s Law:
a) First Law: whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a circuit with time, an induced emf is produced in the circuit which lasts as long as the change in magnetic flux continues.
b) Second Law: According to this law,

• Lenz’s Law:
The direction of the induced emf or current in the circuit is such that it opposes the cause due to which it is produced, so that,

Where N is the number of turns in coil
Lenz’s law is based on energy conservation.
• Induced BMF and Induced Current:
a) Induced EMF,

Charge depends only on net change in flux does not depends on time.
• Induced Emf due to Linear Motion of a Conducting Rod in a Uniform Magnetic Field
The induced emf,

• Induced EMF due to Rotation of a Conducting Rod in a Uniform Magnetic Field:
The induced emf,

Where n is the frequency of rotation of the conducting rod.
• Induced EMF due to Rotation of a Metallic Disc in a Uniform Magnetic Field:

• Induced EMF, Current and Energy Conservation in a Rectangular Loop Moving in a Non- Uniform Magnetic Field with a Constant Velocity:
a) The net increase in flux crossing through the coil in time ..1t is,
△ø = (b2 – b2) lv△r
b) Induced emf in the coil is,
E = (b2 – b2) lv

Energy supplied in this process appears in the form of heat energy in the circuit
f) Energy supplied due to flow of current I in time ..△t is,

• Rotation of Rectangular Coil in a Uniform Magnetic Field:
a) Magnetic flux linked with coil
ø = BAN cos ø
=BAN cosøλ
b) Induced emf in the coil

c) Induced current in the coil.

d) Both Emf and current induced in the coil are alternating
• Self-Induction and Self Inductance:
a) The phenomenon in which an induced emf is produced by changing the current in a coil is called self in induction

where L is a constant, called self inductance or coefficient of self- induction.
b) Self inductance of a circular coil

c) Self inductance of a solenoid

d) Two coils of self- inductances L1and Lz. placed far away (i.e., without coupling) from each other.
i) For series combination:
L = L1 + L2…………..Ln
ii) For parallel combination

• Mutual Induction and Mutual Inductance:
a) On changing the current in one coil, if the magnetic flux linked with a second coil changes and induced emf is produced in that coil, then this phenomenon is called mutual induction


Therefore, M12 = M21 = M
b) Mutual inductance two coaxial solenoids

c) If two coils of self- inductance L1 and L2 are wound over each other, the mutual inductance is,

Where K is called coupling constant
d) Mutual inductance for two coils wound in same direction and connected in series
L = L1 + L2 + 2M
e) Mutual inductance for two coils wound in opposite direction and connected in series
L = L1 + L2 – 2
f) Mutual inductance for two coils in parallel


• Eddy Current:
When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field, induced currents are generated in the whole volume of the conductor. These currents are called eddy currents.
• Transformer:
a) It is a device which changes the magnitude of alternating voltage or current.


• Generator or Dynamo:
It is a device by which mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
• Different Types of Generator:
a) AC Generator
It consists of field magnet, armature, slip rings and brushes. b) DC Generator
It consists of field magnet, armature, commutator and brushes.
• Motor:
It is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Back emf e ∝φ Current flowing in the coil,

Where R is the resistance of the coil. Out put Power = iq eb Efficiency,
